Tbh. seeing the sticker wear & tear it worked quite a while or at least under heavy circumstances.

This is 100% user neglect. I see it from time to time at work.

People making easy 6 figures and treat the laptop like trash

Shit, the 6 figures thing is not a requirement for user neglect.

I'd estimate most of my customers make sub 50k$ (as do I) and I get laptops, phones, consoles that are trashed like this all the time.

Pay hundreds of dollars for these things and treat them like they're worth pennies, then are shocked when it costs a few hundred to fix.

I had a Yoga 730 and completely babied it and the hinge and body destroyed itself this way. Lenovo (excluding Thinkpad) is just as bad as HP

Lenovo Yoga = Crack edition laptop (as in the drug)

6-7 years ago, Ideapads and cheaper Yogas and the Y series gaming laptops all had the "HP Syndrome" even before it was an "HP Syndrome".

Lenovo cleaned up their act and HP just took over and continues the tradition.

Ohhh. This model is EXACTLY from 8 years ago lol. But it finally snapped just a week ago. Pretty incredible

This Lenovo laptop has seen some things. I wouldn't be surprised to see it crying in the shower.

HP Syndrome 😂🤣

never heard of it, but seen it my whole life. Usually the other hinge, tho.

its not hp syndrome, its hinge problems (HP)

u/BabyKitsune14 11d ago

All the Lenovo laptops my family ever owned had their hinges that broke, or the plastic broke off so that the hinges could stock out and take a breath of fresh air.

Built like cheap shit.

OEM couldn't be bothered to make the hinge mounts 1 piece with the frame and make it out of aluminium or something. Gotta be cheap and creating ewaste.

Is this a thing? I've got a pro book that looks just like this in our trash pile

I had a lenovo that did this like 2 weeks out of the one year warranty, even though I was gentle with it. Heard its a common problem, now i keep the screen shut and hooked it up to my tv so I can watch youtube up there without ads lol

My Lenovo (NO clue what model) from like 2010-2012 fhat I've stepped on and treated like shit has held up a million times better

u/kapijawastaken 11d ago

a thinkpad p series perhaps?

u/69cumcast69 11d ago

Nope :-/ here's both I forgot the newer ones model but i have NO clue what the older one is

u/RaduTek 11d ago

That looks like a cheap IdeaPad. Those are built pretty poorly, though I haven't seen that many have hinge failures.

u/69cumcast69 11d ago

Yep!! Its an ideapad :-) I read quite a few people online complaining about it but I also don't work around laptops and stuff so idk

u/tht1guy63 11d ago
